My Virtual StrongBox’s Newest Features
My Virtual StrongBox debuted several new features within its version 2 service on stage at FinovateFall 2014, including:
Enterprise File Exchange offers a handy-yet-secure way to exchange sensitive documents between customers and their provider, without relying on email. Customers also can exchange files with trusted third parties as they wish.
Secure Form Transporting lets customers electronically sign online forms, store a copy in their My Virtual StrongBox and deliver the signed document to the enterprise.
